Humbled in Humboldt - 6/30/08 - Video Added

It is likely that the really cold temperature so far this year just have the fish in a torpor.  In the last couple days the water has been warming in Bodega Bay, but it might talk many days of warm water to get the fish to wake up and feed.  There are lots of juvenile fish around.  I was diving fort ross last week and saw huge clouds of baby rockfish and those 1 inch shrimp are likely krill.   If the ocean warms for a while and we still get slow reports then I will worry.

Jim

I hope you are right.

Jim, what about the alaskan salmon issue? that cant be the same problem as down here can it?

Did see all kinds of 1'' shrimp on Sunday cruisung around, but nothing feeding on them.
Weird.

The fish we caught down in Stillwater and south of there were gorging on krill also.  They kept puking it up all over the yak.

John,

There are scattered reports of some low returns, scattered reports of high returns, but returns on most rivers seem to be running about two weeks late. Presumed cause is the low water temps due to a lingering winter. This from my Kodiak source, as of yesterday (7/1).

Excellent content often will override the rudeness of a threadjack, gentlemen, but you could at least throw in a "Nice report"...   

More tunes, less talk in this flick.   

Hey Eric,

Now i am really confused, were those Wild or Himalayan Blacks?

PS - Great vid!

Even though I've fished three days in a row last weekend...that got ME FIRED UP, like I've been on dry-dock or something?
 Sweet vid&tunes Abbie'.....thisMADNESShasTAKENfullCONTROL!
and you're handling it very well I might add!

 

You call this handling it well?! 

If I can't fix this obsession it'll do me in.   

(there's worse things!)
